Hechos 27:42 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 27:42

And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners
Paul, and the rest: this they had not only an inclination to, but they declared it, and gave it as their opinion, and what they thought advisable to be done directly:

lest any of them should swim out and escape;
and they should be accountable for them: but this was dreadful wickedness in them to seek to take away the lives of others, when they themselves were in so much danger; and monstrous ingratitude to the Apostle Paul, who had been so much concerned for their lives, and careful of them, and had been the means of saving them, and for whose sake they were saved: the devil must have had a great hand in this.

Hechos 27:42 In-Context

40 Alzando las anclas, se dejaron al mar, largando también las ataduras de los gobernalles; y alzada la vela mayor al soplo del aire, íbanse a la orilla

41 Pero dando en un lugar de dos aguas, hicieron encallar la nave; y la proa, hincada, estaba sin moverse, y la popa se abría con la fuerza del mar

42 Entonces el acuerdo de los soldados era que mataran los presos, para que ninguno se fugara nadando

43 Mas el centurión, queriendo salvar a Pablo, estorbó este acuerdo, y mandó que los que pudieran nadar, se echaran los primeros, y salieran a tierra

44 y los demás, parte en tablas, parte en cosas de la nave. Y así aconteció que todos se salvaron saliendo a tierra
